IMPROVED COUNTER AND SHOVV-CASE.v

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LOUIS F. VIENOT, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Combined Counter and Show- Case; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification.

Figure 1 represents a front elevation of my combined counter and show-case.

Figure 2 is a vertical transverse section of the same. Similar letters of .reference indicate corresponding parts. Y

The object of this invention is to reduce the cost of counters and show-cases by combining them, and thereby saving the expensive countertops.

At present show-cases are made separate and placed upon the counters, on which they do not stand very rm, destroying, as they are moved, the finish on the counter tops.

A, in the drawing, represents the counter, and

B the show-case.

The latter is iirmly fitted thereto, without requiring any prolongation of the top plate of the counter beneath it.

The ordinarily expensive finish on the top of the counter is thus made unnecessary, and the expense is thereby so reduced that theaddition of the showcase will hardly add to the cost 0f the counter.

Another advantage of this arrangement is that the show-case maybe lowered in the counter, as in Hg. 1, to have its -bottom below the regular top b of the counter.

Having thus described vmy invention,

-I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentlhe counter A and show-case B, relatively con- Witnesses:
